today i am very proud of the political party i have belonged to all my life.

not only have we choosen the first female Premier of our province (4 other provinces have been led by women in our country - aka similar to US state governors), but ours is the first openly gay leader of a provincial or federal government in this country.

Cool! But we've had 9 female premiers and one female prime minister throughout history (though Kim Campbell hardly counts as she was only the PM for 5 months, and didn't do much). We currently have 6 female premiers including Kathleen Wynne (Eva Aariak, Kathy Dunderdale, Alison Redford, Christy Clark, and Pauline Marois are the others currently serving as premiers).
